Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 336 - 199: The Golden Silkworm’s Plot, the Secret of the White Dragon Tripod
Qi Chuan turned and headed towards the multi-story pavilion standing in the middle of the flying ship.
Since leaving the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, the two sometimes used some small and medium teleportation arrays along the way to shorten the travel distance. When there were no teleportation arrays, they used the flying ship to travel.
Not long ago, the two had just left a teleportation array.
For the next quite a stretch of time, there would be no teleportation arrays available, which they would spend on the flying ship.
Usually, Qi Chuan would take advantage of this time to return to his room to cultivate.
Soon, Qi Chuan returned to his room, closed the door, and sat cross-legged on the bed.
At the moment, his mental state was not good, which was not an ideal time for cultivation.
Therefore, Qi Chuan did not start cultivating immediately; instead, he closed his eyes and calmed his mind.
After quite a while, only then did his mental state gradually calm down and return to tranquility.
Then, Qi Chuan began to prepare for cultivation.
On this flying ship, there was indeed not much Spiritual Qi. After all, it was in the high sky, not above some Spirit Vein or inside a Cave Mansion.
Even though the flying ship was inscribed with some low-tier Spirit Gathering Arrays, the amount of Spiritual Qi it could eventually gather was still not much.
Using this Spiritual Qi, one could indeed cultivate, but the progress would be very slow, better than nothing.
Therefore, either he would use Spirit Stones for cultivation, or he would use other resources.
For example... the White Dragon Tripod.
Qi Chuan directly pulled out the White Dragon Tripod from the Qiankun Bag at his waist.
The White Dragon Tripod was at least an artifact above a Magical Treasure.
Once, Qi Chuan thought that once he advanced to Core Formation, he could refine and utilize the White Dragon Tripod, and open its lid to retrieve the special items contained within the Cauldron Inner Space.
But previously, as soon as he broke through to Core Formation and stepped out from the Five Elements Peak, he encountered the people from the Five Elements Pavilion and Hu Tianying.
Later, he was taken by Hu Tianying to select cultivation techniques and artifacts.
Upon returning to his Cave Mansion, he began refining the Chongxu Bell.
After completing the refinement, the ascension ceremony was held.
One could say he was always busy, so busy that he almost forgot he still had the White Dragon Tripod.
Later, when leaving the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect and traveling in the flying ship, Qi Chuan finally had time to take out the White Dragon Tripod for contemplation.
He had pondered it several times before.
The final result left Qi Chuan infinitely surprised and in awe.
Surprised, because even though he was now at the realm of a Core Formation True Master, he still couldn’t use the White Dragon Tripod, couldn’t refine it, nor could he open its lid to explore the Cauldron Inner Space.
After the surprise, the next thought in Qi Chuan’s mind was awe.
Because he immediately realized that if even he, as a Core Formation True Master, couldn’t use it, then its grade must at least be above a Tier Three Top Grade Magical Treasure!
Could it be, is it actually a Spirit Treasure?
This was obviously a great thing, not a bad one.
In addition to that, Qi Chuan made another discovery.
Previously, when he was in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, applying mana with both hands and touching the body of the White Dragon Tripod allowed the Cauldron Inner Space to release a Spiritual Qi concentration equivalent to a Tier Two Top Grade Spirit Vein.
However, now, after advancing to Core Formation, repeating the same process, he could release a Spiritual Qi concentration equivalent to a Tier Three Lower Grade Spirit Vein.
This undoubtedly left Qi Chuan utterly astonished, further confirming that the White Dragon Tripod was no simple object.
At the same time, this also meant that he could, at any time, use the White Dragon Tripod to obtain a cultivation speed similar to being within his own Tier Three Lower Grade Cave Mansion.
At this moment, Qi Chuan sat cross-legged on the bed, hugging the White Dragon Tripod with both hands, then activated the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique. Instantly, a stream of pure Spiritual Qi gushed out from the White Dragon Tripod, comparable to the Spiritual Qi of a Tier Three Lower Grade Spirit Vein.
This stream of Spiritual Qi entered his body through Qi Chuan’s breath, operating within the meridians according to the Seventh Layer Sword Technique meridian route, and was eventually refined into Sword Technique Magical Power. It then surged into the Dantian, slightly nourishing Qi Chuan’s First-Grade Nine Orifice Golden Core.
After circulating for a Grand Circulation, Qi Chuan opened his eyes.
In front of him, a line of text appeared.
[By using the pure Spiritual Qi provided by the White Dragon Tripod and operating a Grand Circulation of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique at the Seventh Layer, you triggered a sixteenfold critical strike, gaining sixteenfold benefits, and your First-Grade Nine Orifice Golden Core was slightly strengthened.]
Accompanying the appearance of the text, Qi Chuan could clearly feel that the slight strengthening of the Nine Orifice Golden Core in his Dantian instantly multiplied sixteenfold.
"The effect is quite good."
Qi Chuan nodded, quite satisfied in his heart.
If it weren’t for the White Dragon Tripod, cultivating on the flying ship wouldn’t yield such significant results.
Then, Qi Chuan closed his eyes again, continuing to cultivate using the White Dragon Tripod.
As for the Bright King Technique, this cultivation method, Qi Chuan had originally intended to take it out and review it on the flying ship.
However, as a Body Refining Technique, the cultivation of the Bright King Technique had quite harsh conditions and also required a lot of resources.
Even if he comprehended it, it would probably be difficult to cultivate effectively on the flying ship, offering limited enhancement to his strength.
Currently, his main goal was still to return to the Wind Moon Sect and address the threat from the Celestial Soul Hall.
So rather than spending time comprehending the Bright King Technique only to gain minimal strength enhancement, it was better to use the White Dragon Tripod to cultivate and improve his mana a little.
...
Another more than two months passed by.
Today, Tian Hunzi once again led the cultivator army of the Celestial Soul Hall to start breaking the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Array.
The Wind Moon Sect was very vexed but had to respond cautiously.
At the northern forefront of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Array.
Whoosh.
A sound of something cutting through the air arose.
Amidst the rolling and billowing mist-like clouds, the figure of an octogenarian old man slowly emerged.
"Sect Leader!"
Upon seeing Situ Jiang appear, Yun Qingyue, who was guarding the place, flew over and clasped her fists towards Situ Jiang, speaking.
"Hmm, how’s the situation here?" Situ Jiang waved his hand, indicating that Yun Qingyue need not be so formal.
This time, it looked like another routine array-breaking attempt by the Celestial Soul Hall.
However, just in case, Situ Jiang still personally came over to inspect the situation at various parts of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Array.
"Everything is normal."
Yun Qingyue said, "Ahead is merely an Early Stage Foundation Establishment trying to break the array, not worth worrying about."
"That’s good." Situ Jiang nodded.
At this time, Yun Qingyue couldn’t help but say, "Sect Leader, that Golden Silkworm has not appeared for several months. Do you think he might..."
"Possibly." Situ Jiang nodded, understanding what Yun Qingyue was thinking without her needing to elaborate.
"Then why not try..." Yun Qingyue was about to voice her thought.
"Can you guarantee the Golden Silkworm is really gone?" Situ Jiang said indifferently.
"This... cannot." At hearing this, Yun Qingyue was speechless and shook her head.
She could well imagine the severe consequences if the Golden Silkworm were still present and they rashly stepped out of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Array.
"That’s it." Situ Jiang said as such, his tone softening, "Just hold on a little longer, perhaps there might be some changes."
He vaguely remembered, Qi Chuan had left for over four years, almost five now.
Who knows how he is doing now?
Regardless, the distance to Core Formation should still be a while away, and for the Wind Moon Sect to wait for this variable, they probably have to hold on for quite a long time.
However, he couldn’t fully explain this to Yun Qingyue and others.
Because if they knew they had to wait for a very long time, they might not be able to hold on.
Instead, saying, just hold on a little longer, just a little longer, maybe they could persist for more than ten years even.
"Yes." Yun Qingyue nodded helplessly. She had heard similar words about holding on for three years, and though she knew the decision was right, her ears were almost developing calluses.
Afterward, Situ Jiang conversed with Yun Qingyue for a few more sentences before leaving to inspect other parts of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Array.
After Situ Jiang left, Yun Qingyue had a rather regretful expression.
Of course, she had no intention of defying the Sect Leader’s orders.
But looking at that Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Celestial Soul Hall outside the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Array, she couldn’t help but silently think, "What a waste."
This person, if she had gone out, perhaps she could have slain him.
